Itinerario
Nuestro viaje comienza en Andahuaylillas, hogar de la impresionante Iglesia de San Pedro Apóstol, a menudo llamada la "Capilla Sixtina de América". Construido en el siglo XVI por misioneros jesuitas en lo alto de un sitio sagrado inca, este tesoro arquitectónico combina el estilo barroco español con el simbolismo andino. Desde el exterior, su fachada de adobe y ladrillo es modesta. Pero entra y estarás rodeado de altares de pan de oro, frescos vivos y pinturas intrincadas que hacen de este uno de los lugares religiosos más impresionantes de América del Sur.
Luego, exploramos Raqchi, un sitio arqueológico inca notable y “Mejor Pueblo de Turismo” oficial. Lo más destacado aquí es el Templo de Wiracocha - una de las estructuras incas más grandes que todavía están en pie. Según las crónicas antiguas, este gran templo fue construido por un emperador incaico para honrar a Wiracocha, el Dios Supremo invisible del pueblo andino, este enorme templo medía 15 metros de altura y muestra la magistral ingeniería del Inca. Rodeado de ruinas antiguas y un rico legado espiritual, Raqchi es un poderoso paso atrás en el corazón de la civilización inca.
A mitad del viaje, nos detendremos para un relajante almuerzo buffet de 1 hora con lo mejor de la cocina tradicional andina. Esto es más que una simple comida: es una oportunidad para saborear sabores locales como sopa de quinua, verduras asadas, papas andinas, ensaladas frescas y carnes regionales, todo preparado con ingredientes de las tierras altas. Situado en una tranquila ciudad de las tierras altas, el restaurante ofrece impresionantes vistas a la montaña y un ambiente cálido y acogedor, el descanso perfecto para recargar energías antes de continuar hacia Puno.
Hacemos una pausa en el Abra La Raya, el espectacular paso de montaña que marca la frontera natural entre Cusco y Puno. A más de 4.300 metros sobre el nivel del mar, es el punto más alto del viaje y un escaparate impresionante de los Andes en plena gloria. Rodeado de picos nevados y cielo sin fin, este es un momento perfecto para estirar las piernas, tomar fotos y sentir la inmensidad de las tierras altas del Perú.
Nuestra última parada es Pucará, el asentamiento más antiguo de la cuenca del Titicaca, que data del 500 a.C. Pucará fue un próspero centro de las tierras altas y albergó a miles de personas, desde sacerdotes y artesanos hasta agricultores y guerreros. Hoy en día, ofrece una rara ventana a la civilización preincaica, conocida por sus esculturas de piedra monolítica con sorprendentes formas geométricas y animales, y vibrante cerámica multicolor utilizada tanto en la vida diaria como en rituales sagrados. Un fascinante vistazo a las raíces de la cultura andina.

Five different stops, really interesting places to visit along the way, best buffet lunch including trout. Totally worth it. Best way to travel between Cusco and Puno.
Max was our guide throughout the day. The experience was very warm without losing professionalism. Delighted with the experience. I am left above all with the meaning of Ayni as a principle of the Andean community ❤️
We have just Finished 4 amazing weeks in Peru and the only two bad experiences we had, both involved Inca Express. First we had booked a 6 hour bus from Arequipa. This bus was actually okay with good wide, reclining seats. However the temperature in the bus was 35 degrees Celsius for more than 5 hours of the trip, which was unbearable. When we asked the bus guide there was nothing to do about it… A couple of days later we had a booking for Route of the Sun (Puno-Cusco). The day before, we received a mail from the agency that we had to pay an extra 20 US dollars for pick up and drop off, even though we had booked and paid for everything on their own website. It made no sense, but at that time we didn’t really feel we had no other option than just paying. However, have we knew from the beginning that we would have had to pay 40 dollars, we wouldn’t have booked this, as a taxi is like only 4-5 dollars. Well, we paid the extra 20 dollars as we wouldn’t risk to miss this trip. Tickets are popular and it was supposed to be a beautiful trip. Booking for this trip was made 10 months prior, so we were really surprised to experience that we had gotten the worst 4 tickets in the bus, with almost no view or leg space. The bus service lady didn’t really care about our complaints, but we were lucky that the guide gave up his two seats, so at least we got two okay seats. The trip itself was okay, with some interesting shops, but also some stops lwhere it only felt like we “had” to spend some money. When we arrived to Cusco, surely the only ones who hadn’t a driver waiting was us, even though we had been forced to pay extra. After some complaints and some phone calls, a driver arrived and drove us to the hotel. He didn’t know where we were going, so it was just a driver the guides had called. When we got to the hotel I wrote Inca Express customer service and complained. They apologized and informed us, that their booking department would get back to me within some days on mail. Today, three weeks later I have heard nothing from them and my messages on WhatsApp are not looked at…… surprise 🙄 Best advice is to stay away from Inca Express and look somewhere else
I wish we had some more time to visit Raqchi and the last site (the pyrami dwe did not even go to) rather than stay in therestaurant (which was OK but of no special interest). Maybe propose the same version but with a pic-nic instead, to gain some time for visits.
Comfortable journey, interesting to see more of the country on our way to Puno
Having no other choice but the road (the train is overpriced) to get to Puno from Cusco, we chose the "daytime with excursion" version. It won't remain the best memory of our trip to Peru, but it is perfectly fine. The children loved the last stop where they painted ceramic bulls and left with them.
Very courteous. Informative. Very delicious food. It would have been nice to have a little more time at the stops. Unfortunately, my seat wasn't working quite right. All in all, highly recommended.
My boyfriend and I took the Inka-express bus from Puno to Cusco. A snack pack and water was provided. You could also use the free coffee and tea on board. The bus was very punctual. When there was a possible delay, it was announced. The guide, Elizabeth, characterized herself as very enthusiastic and gave clear explanations at each stop. She also managed the timing very well which made it very pleasant. Her passion for Peru was very clearly felt. Despite the long drive, the hours flew by! So our big thanks for Elizabeth (guide) and the driver!
Excellent option for those going from Cusco to Puno and not only want to cross the highway but rather stop to know the interior of the country. Very good inclusive lunch, with varied free buffet and dessert included. Very informative guide. Beautiful landscapes. I highly recommend this tour.
Hi Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. We're happy to hear you enjoyed discovering more of Peru along the way, as well as the beautiful landscapes, the meal, and the informative guidance. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope this experience remains a special memory from your time in Peru.
The coach was extremely comfortable, with large reclining seats, USB charging points, and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the journey. We were provided with a bottle of water and some snacks, and the lunch buffet offered a good variety of food. One aspect I wasn't so keen on was how the entrance fees for the attractions were handled. I didn't mind paying to visit some of the sites, but at the start of the trip the guide collected the total cost for all of the attractions in one go. This made us feel as though we had to pay for and visit every attraction, rather than having the flexibility to choose which ones we wanted to see. Overall I would recommend
Hi, Thank you for your thoughtful review and recommendation! We're delighted you enjoyed the comfort of the coach and the onboard service. We also appreciate your feedback about the entrance tickets. We understand your point and will review how we communicate and manage this process so passengers feel they have greater flexibility. Thank you for helping us improve, and we hope to welcome you again soon!
